Hi Guys, I'm about to start working on a program to display some XML data as a visual model. It requires various boxes-within-boxes and connecting lines. Before I go and do it all wrong, I have a few concerns and questions for anybody who's done this sort of thing before.
Should I be creating custom nested components, or just drawing on a big canvas? If I'm using components, how will I layer the connecting lines above the other components? Is there an easily accessible universal x/y/z position system to access those details, or will I be going up various trees adding top/left offsets until I get to the Application object? Are there any examples or articles on doing this sort of thing I should look at? Any suggestions or pointers to similar projects would definitely be appreciated! Cheers, -Josh -- "This is crazy!
